OUT & ABOUT AT DIVAS ROCK IN LAGOS WITH SALT 'N' PEPA

We are so sorry that this is coming rather late. But it's still better late than never at all. Salt 'n' Pepa were in Lagos, Nigeria at the beginning of the month of May, as the headliners in the concert tagged ''Divas Rock''. The duo we can tell you all for a fact, without mincing words can still rock and they rocked the house with a medley of their fantastic jams of years gone by.

But they were not the only acts on the night, as they were ably supported by some of Nigeria's best female acts like Eva Alordiah- we particularly love the way she effortlessly romanced the microphone , Sasha P- she hasn't lost her touch at all, though we felt it was the wrong outfit to rap in, Weird MC who is still as energetic as ever, running round the house getting everyone off their sits and things, then last but not the least Ms Jaie, who though has a great voice and sang well. We didn't think her outfit for the performance was good enough. Twas after Ms Jaei that the legendary duo came out smoking hot and they gave a great account of themselves. 

It was a great concert for all of us that were there. We do not know why, people must insist that all concerts must happen on the Island. Is it that the 'mainlanders' cannot rock?  So the numbers expected was not as great as was initially expected. But massive kudos must be given to the organizers for putting together one of the best shows we have ever seen in this country. The technical team were out of here, everything about the show like- security, organization, seating arrangement, music production, ambiance etc were first class. Massive kudos to Rodizzio entertainment. 

We took a few pictures for your delight and here they are. Also check out Kemi Olunloyo & Dotun of Rumors Night club, rocking the stage with Salt 'n' Pepa.

LAGOS!!! ARE YOU READY??? AS SALT 'N' PEPA LANDS IN LAGOS, NIGERIA

 

The Grammy Award winning group, Salt-N-Pepa, which consists of Cheryl James and Sandy Denton ("Salt" and "Pepa", respectively) are indeed here in Nigeria. The Legends, icons, trailblazers, pioneers, innovators and trendsetters (just a few words often used to describe this group) arrived Muritala Mohammed Airport yesterday evening specially for Rodizzio Entertainment’s DIVAS ROCK concert being organized by Rodizzio Entertainment. 

As the first ever female rap crew, Salt-N-Pepa, broke barriers and opened doors wide open that were once closed to women in hip-hop. They gave women a voice in a male dominated industry and transformed the way the music world saw women forever. With the hit songs "Push It," "Tramp,""Shake Your Thang," "Shoop" and "Whatta Man," Salt-N-Pepa would defy everyone's expectations and catapult hip-hop to new levels 

 “We are happy to be in Nigeria because it gives us an opportunity to connect with our fans out here" said Salt. "When you have a chance to see people outside from where we come from, there's nothing like it in the world." 

Rodizzio Entertainment has commissioned some of Nigeria’s finest female artists to join forces with Salt-N-Pepa for this unique show which is scheduled to take place on the 1st of May  2013 at 10 Degrees events center in oregun, Ikeja.

The Artists who will be coming together with Salt-N-Pepa on stage include Sasha P, Weird MC, Eva and Ms Jaie. For more information on tickets and artists see Facebook.com/Rodizzio Entertainment Co

Outside of the realm of being legends of the hip hop game, Grammy Award winning group, Salt-N-Pepa can also be called "revolutionaries of rap" and "ground breakers of the game." Not only using their mic as a means to make big beats and heads bob, but they also used it as means to get out messages of importance and relevance. From safe sex to independence and respecting yourself as a woman, Salt-N-Pepa saw the urgency and importance of empowering the female race and using their voices through the mic to influence millions with their music. 

No matter what you call them, Salt-N-Pepa, revolutionized a people, changed a culture and totally revamped the way the world saw music forever. You can't list or mention the top rap songs of all time without their hit songs showing up. And you can't talk about music history without mentioning their names. Their contributions to a culture and to the world of hip hop has influenced the landscape and look of music as we know it today.
